PRINCETON, Mo. – While it took a bit longer than originally planned, the Brushy Creek Bridge on Route P in Mercer County is now open. Contractors from Ennis Excavating, LLC of Jamestown, Missouri, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, closed the bridge Dec. 5, 2016, for a bridge replacement project. They originally hoped to open the bridge at the beginning of February, but design modifications and weather delays pushed that date back. The bridge opened earlier today to all traffic.
